Third Party USB Charger

The manual inevitably says "Use only Apple's own charger" but gives no specifications as to output voltage, etc.
I have a perfectly good plug-in USB charger (for an HP PocketPC), which outputs 5.5VDC-1.0A. Any reason this shouldn't be safe/effective?
TIA
Nick

my apple usb charger does not work on the new nano - just like all the speaker kits i have - it won't recharge using them

Third party USB cable detected by IOS 7 update

Yesterday I had a working Ipad2 and foolishly I allowed it to update itself. Big mistake!
After all sorts of hangs, reboots etc I got it working again and then watched the battery drain before my eyes. Charged it overnight and after 12 hours it was at 75% and just about holding at that level. I have a third party USB cable and I borrowed my daughters OEM cable. When I plugged that in I could immediately see that it was charging normally BUT it also immediately disabled rotation and it is now stuck in landscape mode. I've tried switching the lock button to "Lock Rotation" and I see the icon on screen changing from locked to unlocked but it will not rotate. WHAT THE..............
Detecting that I am using a cable purchased from another source and deliberately disabling my property without my authority borders on the criminal.
Apple need to get it sorted.

I'm sure Apple would love for you (and everyone else) to use their cables...that's a given. But I seriously doubt that any kind of intentional "crippling" would be done to anyone's unit in some way because they used a third-party cable. Seems like the way it's setup now, if a third-party cable is detected, you'll get an on-screen message that the cable is detected as such and you may have issues when using it.
Try the cable again and if it faults the rotation function in the same way, then you can decide if you want to continue using the cable if it is indeed causing this same fault consistently. Otherwise, it could have just been a coincidence.

Third-party battery & charger?

Hi all,
Has any of you had any experience with 3rd party camera batteries & chargers? Would it cause any damange to the camera? Would it cause problems when doing repairs via BB or the manufacturer?
I'm considering this option because BB is making me extremely frustrated by making a simple battery replacement difficult & time-consuming (the whole story: CLICK HERE)
But I don't want BB or Panasonic to deny my right to repair the camera within the warranty due to using a third-party battery/charger.

To my knowledge, no manufacturer covers damage caused by using third party accessories under any circumstances (that would be silly).
In the US, the manufacturer cannot forbid you from using third party acessories and it cannot directly change your warranty status, and there are similar laws in most other countries; only if the third party accessory damages your camera.
For batteries and chargers, there is little downside, as even if the cells contained within are of a low quality, they would undervolt the camera, which it is designed to handle safely (although you wouldn't LIKE it, it won't damage your camera), not overvolt it, which would cause damage - and even overvoltage will only cause damage if it's significant. The camera has to be pretty tolerant of batteries acting up, because even the best Li-Ion frequently have trouble.
I'm a former Geek Squad employee, and I've spent my entire life and career taming technology. Kudos appreciated.

Off button doesn't turn off iPhone5 after using third party car charger.

After trying to use a third party car charger from Amazon.ca, my iPhone5 no longer shuts down by holding down the power button. Also, when I want to put the phone to sleep and push the power button quickly, it doesn't sleep so I have to hold it down for a couple of seconds. Sometimes it doesn't sleep at all. I tried restoring my phone but that didn't help the problem.

I would check your serial number here, https://ssl.apple.com/support/iphone5-sleepwakebutton/ , and see if your iPhone may be one of the devices that qualifies.

How to use third party usb 485 interface

I have a third party usb-485 interface that we frequently use within our company and want to be able to use Labview to create a program to talk to our systems. The interface is a kk systems usb-rs485 isolated converter which I have been able to recognise in MAX explorer after using the NI VISA driver wizard but I am unsure how to now use it for 485 comms within Labview. I don't seem to be able to detect it with the VISA configure serial port vi. I have used the NI usb-485 interface before and found this quite easy to set up but am not sure how to use this third party interface. I have attatched screen shots of the MAX window to show what it is seeing. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I have undone everything as recommended and the comm port does appear in the devices tree but when I try to use the device I don't seem to be able to get any response even though I can select the port as the VISA device name in my vi. I am pretty sure I have the baud rate etc.set the same as when we use the interface in other software,is there something else I need to do? I am using the rs485 example in labview as my code which works with the ni-usb485 we have.

MacBook Pro with Third Party USB External Modem ? Drivers? Network Pane?

I bought my brother a MacBook Pro last month, and he is using it fine in Pakistan with my Airport base station and cable internet access. Problem is when he is on the road, and using GPRS with his Sony Ericsson P900/910 is terribly expensive there. So, I have to send him an Apple USB modem (that I am yet to hear good things about). However, he does have an external third party USB modem that works fine with PC laptops. Are there any generic drivers for USB modems built into OS X in MacBooks? How would he go about using the external USB modem in Network control panel and using a generic driver?
Is there a way to use Parallels (that he has) to connect to Internet from the Windoze USB modem and have MacOS X use the Windows connection as the "router"? Thanks.

Charging 60GB 5G iPod with third party USB chargers

I have a 60GB 5G iPod which charges fine from my PC and an old wall charger that came with my original 1G iPod. However, it will not charge from either a USB wall charger (Swisstravel) or a 12V car USB charger - both of which charge other USB devices (including other iPods...) fine.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any solution?
Thanks

This has been happening to me over this month and I eventually ended up buying a new wall charger. I think that the chargers wear down after so much use.

Using a third-party wall charger...

Well I saw this Centrios charger for $20 where you can plug in your iPod and hook it up to the wall power outlet so you can charge it without having to have your computer on.
1) Does this void any Apple warranties?
2) Is there a chance that this charger could do anything of harm to my iPod?
3) Would I be better off getting the official Apple charger? (No biased answers, please.)

Other than not charge it...Not really.

Depends on the power ratings of the third-party chargers.

Third party apple charger vs cable

I have an apple original charger, actually quite few I have accumlated over the last 7 yrs of iphone and two ipads.. I never tried buy third partycharger / cables...
Recetly for my iphone 5 i lost my original cable and went and bought a thrid party cable "only cable". And I tried to use it with my iphone and with the apple charger (or via my iMac)..
Now
1. It works on a hit or miss basis, it chargers sometimes and at times it doesnt...
2. I have been reading in news that ppl get electricuted by using 3 rd party chargers? This seems serious.... However is this an issue with using 3rd party charger and/or cable? I was under the impression that, once we have a apple original charge/adaptor then using any cable should be safe from any hazard? AM I right to say that???

Apple patented the lightning cables and genuine copies are licenced and are available from the premium manufacturers .The cheap versions are almost certainly unlicenced knockoffs
Apple genuine items cables and charger units will work as expected. No-one can predict how a cheap backstreet copy will work

Third party USB products and the Airport Extreme

If I hook up a USB splitter to my Western Digital hard drive, then plug one USB into my Airport extreme and the other in my XBOX 360 will my files on my hard drive become available wirelessly for use on my computer and also be available to be retrieved wired to my 360?

You do not want to do that. You can't connect two computers (the Xbox and AEBS) to the same USB bus. Not only won't it work but you may damage one or both (the Xbox and AEBS).

How do I control the motors in a third party usb toy with LabVIEW?

Any suggestions?

Hi, if you are only wanting to control motors than you have a lot of options. Use the parallel port with a current driver, use the serial port and a micro to control the motor. If you want to interface the USB device than this is where to get started.

How do I stop third party subscription charges

We have "Piano Free with Songs, All-Access Pass" on the iPad. This application is by Better Day Wireless, Inc. It charges me every week as part of an automatic renewal. I am trying to "unsubscribe". Can anyone explain to me how I can do this?

So you got to the last screen "Weekly Subscription" and it showed you the Subscription information:
Do you have any Restrictions Turned on under Settings>General>Restrictions? If so, turn them off temporarily and try again. If you do not, then I would suggest doing this via iTunes on your computer.
Cheers,

Third party USB products and Airport Express

If I hook up a USB splitter to my Western Digital hard drive, then plug one USB into my Airport express and the other in my XBOX 360 will my files on my hard drive become available wirelessly for use on my computer and also be available to be retrieved wired to my 360?

No. The AirPort Express (AX) does not support USB hard drives.
The second thing is that you can't connect two computers (the Xbox and AX) to the same USB bus.
